we had to screw up in florida and the intervention by the supreme court that put w. into office with well over 500,000 votes short of al gore's total. we've had citizens united, allowing billionaires to have unlimited sway in what we see and hear about the candidates at election time. does either side want an election now decided about the inability of longtime, life-long voters to have their say, to have their vote, to matter when the ballots are counted? i don't matter that some people out there would sit and chortle with their friends about how much fun it would be to grab the presidency by grabbing away some old person's ability to vote, to send them back to their row houses hurt and humiliated, to they will them they are not legitimate voters. it would be an assault, however, on our democracy. worse than watergate, worse than electoral dumb show that led to w.. it will show you a real citizens un.
